Overview

The Manfrotto MVA500 Easy Link Connector Pair is a straightforward rigging accessory designed for photographers and videographers who need additional mounting points on their support equipment. Each connector features a 3/8" thread that screws into compatible Easy Link sockets found on many Manfrotto tripods, light stands, and other support gear. Once installed, they provide a secure anchor point for attaching friction arms, articulating arms, monitor mounts, and other accessories that use the same 3/8" standard.

Sold as a set of two, the MVA500 connectors are compact and unobtrusive, adding negligible weight to your setup while significantly expanding its versatility. They are particularly useful in multi-accessory rigs where you need to mount a field monitor on one arm and a light or microphone on another. The build quality is consistent with Manfrotto's professional-grade hardware, ensuring the threaded connection stays tight and secure even during extended use on location.
